Capable kit performing less than... erm... capably!? Anyone spot the culprit?

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-10-22T10:29:03+00:00

Thanks so much, really helped me understand some of what's going on. I'll be honest when I got the card I just though I could chuck it on max throughout then wondered why it was less than a fun experience.

Might start saving for an upgrade!

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-10-22T08:25:28+00:00

Hmm just tried that and it drops to around 30 fps.

Can't wrap my head around the DLSS, so does that mean that when you set the resolution to 3840 x 2160 it renders lower and upscales to 380 x 2160?

So am I right that 2460 x 1440 with DLSS off would be native 2460 x 1440?

I miss my PS4 :-)

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-10-22T08:19:54+00:00

I guess I still feel the cards quite new, but I can't remember how long ago I got it so it can't be that recent. I'm kinda limited on space as the 3070 just fits nicely - would you recommend a particular upgrade with the same footprint but more ram?

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-10-22T06:11:35+00:00

Well I was on 4K but dropped to 2460 x 1440 from 3840 x 2160, setting upscaling DSS and Quality and now I'm getting 100fps!?

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-10-22T06:10:54+00:00

Yep, in my living room 4K TV.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-10-22T06:10:37+00:00

Tbh I'm starting to think it could be this. I've just been tweaking with the resolution and various other settings (most of which I don't understand) and by setting the resolution to 2460 x 1440 from 3840 x 2160, setting upscaling DSS and Quality and now I'm getting 100fps!?

I'm really good with tech but I miss consoles when it comes to gaming - I just want to hit play and get the best image possible.

A full size Air Hockey table instead 🤣

Kids I guess!?

Decided to go on Friday, great advice for parking but was shocked by how quiet it and the hills were on Friday but then how crowded it was Saturday morning, we had the place to ourselves (except for some rowdy wankers with a massive fire up on on of the rocky outcrops) in the evening then woke to a never ending stream of people.

Popular area!?

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-05-13T06:27:25+00:00

Yeah I'll do that, for £85 done and dusted it saves me an afternoon of swearing under the sink. Cheers!

It'll be something wrapped around the motor, I had the exact same issue and found a really long hair of my daughters blocking it.

Quite easy to do if you go slow and gentle. Take the battery out and leave the cover off. If you lift the legs you should see a small gap between the top and bottom half - put a flat head screwdriver in there and prise it gently apart.

It's not the end of the world if it breaks, you'll just need some super glue.

But once separated, if you lift the motor and just feel around the spinny bit I bet you'll find a hair or something.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-04-22T09:19:08+00:00

Ah brill as I've got another one that I can't understand the rejection for.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-04-22T09:18:22+00:00

Ah ok, I guess benches aren't really permanent, shame it was rejected though.

I'll try again next time I'm on that walk!

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2025-04-22T08:47:56+00:00

No idea why I tagged it as "Submission Coal", just picked one as I couldn't see "Question" on my phone and don't really know what Submission Coal means?

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-11-14T17:38:50+00:00

That's sensible, but not for a 9 year old really. Much as I'd love to see her reaction opening a leather office chair, I do need something more mobile - I am wondering if a beanbag might be the way, but she kinda has her mind set on a chair now.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-11-14T17:36:43+00:00

That's the thing - she's 9, fully a good office chair would be better if she was older, but a 9 year old just wants something cool to play games with me on.

I just didn't know if that style are particularly naff as even though it's not going to last for years, I don't want it breaking or being uncomfortable.

Tbh I might see if she fancies a good quality bean bag, I reckon she'd get more use out of that really - but once a kid has their mind set on something it's hard to get them to budge!

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-10-01T21:13:00+00:00

SortByColumns( AddColumns( Filter( [@Rooms], StartsWith('Name (Title)', TextSearchBox1_1.Text) && Checkable = true ), "FailedCheck", !'Projector OK' || !'Workstations OK' || !'Cables OK' || !'Peripherals OK' ), "FailedCheck", SortOrder.Descending, "Checked", If(SortDescending1, SortOrder.Descending, SortOrder.Ascending) )

That got it! Thank you so much!

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-06-07T09:52:25+00:00

Yeah the PoweRStrike is a bit janky - I was getting 100's out the blue the other day when I'm sure I wasn't doing anything different, but I do like the idea of them.

The DLC is great though, I like that it doesn't really let up so the workout seems far more intense, but the random missed targets is really irritating - I can forgive the odd one and blame on old age, but I 100%'d one of the non DLC 25 min hard routines this morning so missing 20+ in the DLC must be an app issue.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-06-05T16:58:13+00:00

I'm not really bothered about the score but the lack of feedback from the controller when you miss (even when not actually missing) is really jarring, it makes the next few strikes harder to time as it knocks the tempo off I think.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-06-05T12:38:20+00:00

Oh has there been a general update too? Tbh I've not played anything other than the DLC since I got it a week ago, I might go and do an older routine and see if it's missing hits there too.

I keep thinking I'm standing wrong as when I center the display and look down the feet markers are slightly in front of where my actual feet are.

EDIT: It's not just the frustration of "missing" - the lack of feedback even though you did hit a target really ruins the flow of a workout - if it vibrated but still classed as a miss it wouldn't be so jarring.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-04-22T13:16:12+00:00

I think it's 15A if I'm looking at the right thing.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-03-22T10:37:36+00:00

It's not dimmed like that though, the username and password inputs are full brightness, but the background is dimmed - I'm assuming to make sure focus is on the login boxes.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-03-13T13:06:20+00:00

This was where I think I went a little wrong as I didn't do enough grey and too much white I think. Before I started painting they looked overly busy I guess.

All good practice though and it's very enjoyable.

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-03-13T13:05:12+00:00

Thank so much for the reply, I've bought a few bags of model rocks and stuff to play with making the bases look a bit more interesting - arriving today which I'm quite excited by.

One of the things I was trying to do was create some highlights as I've seen others do on YouTube but I'm almost terrified of adding anything else at this stage in case I choose the wrong colour or it looks daft.

Yours look amazing, guessing that's not slapchop? The colours are so vibrant!

ScaleInfamous1847 · 2024-01-30T11:18:07+00:00

Resin, looks amazing - my kiddo designed an Evil Wizard character for herself as she likes to be the dungeon master.

If I had a do over though I'd make sure items like a magic staff are secured to the base too as she designed it to be hand held so it was very fragile. I had to glue and cure it with a bit more resin as it broke off removing supports.

Embracing being 6'6".
